Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan has been accused of taking a test for Covid-19 “when so many front line workers are unable” by Lord Alan Sugar.
The Apprentice business tycoon took to Twitter to question how Piers managed to get test after admit wide spread reports there is a shortage on the front line.
Posing to his 5.3 million followers, Lord Sugar said: “How did @piersmorgan get a test when so many front line workers are unable?
“He would be crowing from the roof top if it was another celebrity.”
Piers is yet to publicly reply to the post.

A rep for Piers Morgan has been contacted by Daily Star Online for further clarification.
Last week the government hit their target of testing 100,000 people per day.
The figures included home testing kits which had not yet been returned.

From Wednesday this week testing is expected to be available to all frontline workers in health and social care.
The government says this will include workers who are not displaying symptoms.

Taking to Twitter on Sunday evening, Piers wrote: “UPDATE: On medical advice, and out of an abundance of caution for a mild symptom that arose in past 48hrs, I’ve had a test for COVID-19 and so won’t be working on @GMB until I get the result back, which should be tomorrow.”
Speaking on GMB, Susanna Reid said: “We send our very best wishes and we’ll be on our best behaviour while he’s not here.”
Teasing, Ben Shepherd, who stood in for Piers, joked: “Does he just want a lie-in?”
Stirring the pot, Dr Hilary added: “I think he just wants his car clean.”
